Xigfrid Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) I don't know if it is the right place to advertise this resin kit, but since it requires assembling and painting it probably is!Jasonc is making a resin kit of the drone fighter designed by myself as seen in Macross Plus movies and on the line art.Because we need a minimum quantity of 20 orders in one scale to manufacture the kit, we are collecting pre-orders now. If you want to secure one or just want to learn more about this kit, the thread is there: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=42404&p=1205067 Edited June 24, 2015 by Xigfrid Quote
Jasonc Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 This is looking like a great kit so far. Working on details of the parts and stuff, but it's going to be nice. I'm gonna try to get the parts in the orange color according to the color on the Macross Chronicle colored rendition. I also have decals that I will make for it, and while not too fancy, there will be some box art, or an image to go with it. I'm excited about this, as I've been on a Macross Plus kick the past month in anticipation of the VF-19 Advance (yes, I know it's Frontier, buuuuuut....). I have the dye in stock, clear resin ready to go, and just waiting to get the rest of the materials to get started. Quote

Old Man Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Is there an option to have this painted and assembled? Quote
charger69 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Is there an option to have this painted and assembled? Yes! Jason will help us Quote
Xigfrid Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Is there an option to have this painted and assembled? For an additional $35 you get a painted version, let Jasonc confirm if you can get it also assembled. Personally, I can see it easy to be partially assembled so that you just have to snap in 3 parts at home and reduce shipping cost / box size. Edited: it is $30 to add instead of the $35 mentioned, so sweeter! Edited June 24, 2015 by Xigfrid Quote
Jasonc Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 We haven't discussed shipping yet, but If they are going to be painted, they will probably need to go into a significantly larger box. While I'm waiting on numbers of orders, materials, etc. I can't say how much shipping is going to be at this time. I will try to make it as decent as possible, but still keep it exceptionally sturdy. Updates for that will come in time. In the meantime, I think the target is 20 preorders. We can do it with less, but the kit may cost a little more to cover materials. I just checked my pressure tank, and it still works great. Molds and resin should work like a charm for this. Also hoping to do most of this as one piece molds for the best detail, and of course, as stated earlier, color cast in that rich orange. Quote
